Three out of four Cork Covid-19 assessment hubs remain unused since outbreak

THREE purpose-built HSE Covid-19 community assessment hubs, designed to help ease pressure on hospital Intensive Care Units, remain unused in Cork City and County due to low Covid-19 patient numbers.
Four community assessment hubs for Cork, in St Mary’s Health Campus in Gurranabraher, Ballincollig, Mallow and Bantry, were constructed and equipped in a matter of weeks by the HSE’s Cork Kerry Community Healthcare Organisation.
More than 120 healthcare staff, including nurses, volunteering GPs and administrative staff, were trained to man hubs in the Cork-Kerry region.
